Get Lucky With These Leprechaun Crafts

Blarney Stones and lucky wishes, St. Patrick’s Day is just such silly fun. I never miss the chance in my classroom to celebrate this magic-infused holiday because it’s such a fantastic way to learn about the amazing Irish culture. Take advantage of the holiday at home as well by putting on some green and making new memories with your kids. No need for a four-leaf clover to strike up some good ideas. Rather, these leprechaun crafts will certainly help you find the pot at the end of rainbow.
